Electric Vehicle Battery Swapping Apparatus and Method

Electric Vehicle Battery Swapping Device and Method

This technology is an automated system that recognizes vehicle information and remaining battery levels when an electric vehicle enters the station. If the battery level is below a set threshold, a robot removes the existing battery and replaces it with a fully charged battery of the appropriate specification.

This solution addresses the long charging times for electric vehicles, the degradation of battery life caused by rapid charging, and the issues of high cost and weight compared to hybrid engines.

The system includes a vehicle recognition device and a battery swapping robot. It identifies the battery's location, status, and capacity based on vehicle information, and the robot automatically performs the replacement process while verifying the vehicle's identity via an internal recognition module. Applicable to industrial robots and automation systems, it enhances the efficiency of battery swapping and charging for electric vehicles.

Key Features:

• Vehicle recognition device that identifies incoming vehicle information and the remaining level of the first battery
• System that generates a battery swap command if the remaining battery level is below a threshold
• Configuration that identifies a second battery corresponding to the first battery based on vehicle information
• Battery swapping robot that removes the first battery and installs the identified second battery to complete the swap
